Order Exception Handling — Products

We strive for excellence in order fulfillment, but occasionally experience problems due to the complexities of managing our inventory this closely. In the event that something you ordered may not be available, here is how we will handle it:

Golf Discs, Ultimate Discs, Bags and Baskets:

  • If we do not have what you ordered , we will contact you to review your options. We will not substitute something different without asking you first.

    Clothing:

    • If we do not have the size and color you ordered, then we will contact you to review options. We will not substitute a different size or color shirt, hat, etc. without asking you first.

    If you are concerned in any way about how your order will be filled, then please ADD A NOTE TO YOUR ORDER AT CHECKOUT. We read every note and put your note on the receipt with our response to show you that we read it.


    Order Exception Handling — Addresses

    Providing us with your correct name, address, city, state, zip code AND phone number is VERY IMPORTANT. Selecting the proper method of delivery for your address is also VERY IMPORTANT. 
    UPS does not deliver to PO Box or General Delivery addresses.  It is your responsibility to select the proper method of shipping for your address. If you provide a PO Box address and select any UPS delivery method, then YOUR ORDER WILL BE DELAYED.
    In the event that we need to contact you about your order, we will contact you by the method chosen at checkout.  If no response is received within 24 hours we will use each of the methods available until we are able to contact you. Please note that in these rare instances where we must contact you prior to shipping your order, that our ability to promptly contact you may impact our ability to ship your order the same or next business day.  It is your responsibility to monitor your prefered method of communication as selected by you on the original order. 


    Standard Shipping (Contiguous US States)

    Standard shipping is the most economical way for you to receive your order. By selecting "Standard Shipping" at checkout, you are saving shipping charges because it allows us to send your order at the lowest cost to us. About half of "Standard shipping" orders are shipped through the US Mail and half through UPS Ground. The rules and rates for each carrier vary greatly by delivery address and the delivery timeframes are similar to most locations, so by allowing us to choose the exact delivery method, it enables us to pass along the savings to you. 

    FREE Standard Shipping - All disc orders of $15 on Disc Golf Mart.com are eligible for FREE Standard Shipping. Simply add product(s) to your cart and select "Standard Shipping" at checkout. Please Note: Disc Golf baskets cannot be sent through the US Mail, so any order with a basket must have a UPS/FedEx/Etc. deliverable Street address specified as the "ship to" address. Not doing so will result in a delay processing your order. 

    Customers requiring a guaranteed delivery timeframe must select a UPS shipping method.

To these states, your order will be shipped via US mail and you may not receive a tracking number.  If you are placing a time-sensitive order to these states, then you must select a UPS Expedited shipping method (UPS 2-day for example). 

    We DO NOT ship baskets to Alaska or Hawaii. 


    Canadian & International Orders

    At this time we do not offer shipping to Canada or to any country other than the United States. 


    Package Tracking and Undelivered Shipments

    When your order is shipped (generally within 1 business day), we will complete your order in our system and you will receive an automated e-mail with your package tracking information. This automated e-mail will be from "customerservice@discgolfmart.com". You can also find this information on this web site by logging in with your user ID/password and clicking on the Order History Link. It is YOUR responsibility to track your package and plan for its arrival. If your order does not arrive, then we adhere to the following process.

    If your package was shipped via US Postal Service:

    First, we will track your package to determine its status. If the Postal Service states that the package has not been delivered, we will contact the Postal Service to determine its true status or advise you to contact your local post office to provide additional information. If the Postal Service is unable to deliver your package because the address you provided is incorrect or incomplete, the package will be returned to us within 3 weeks. If after 2 -3 weeks (contiguous US states), the package has still not been delivered or returned to us, we can assume the Postal Service has lost your package. We will then issue a gift certificate in the amount of the entire order. If the Postal Service states that the package has been delivered, we will assume the package has been delivered and will not reship your order or issue a gift certificate. In these instances, your package has essentially been stolen or is otherwise missing, and we recommend you follow-up with the carrier and your local authorities.

    If your package was shipped via UPS:

    First, we will track your package to determine its status. If UPS states that the package has not been delivered, we will either contact UPS to determine its true status or advise you to contact them to provide additional information. Sometimes it is clear that they need additional information on your location to complete delivery. If UPS indicates that the order has been successfully delivered, then we will initiate a trace of the delivery. A trace sends the driver out to the delivery location to verify the address where the package was left. A trace takes 8 business days to complete. About 50% of the time a problem is discovered that results in correct delivery of the original shipment. 

    If the address you provided is not correct or incomplete, you will be responsible for a $15 UPS address change fee. If the package is returned to us, once we receive the package, we will issue a gift certificate in the amount of your order less the total shipping fees and any restocking fees. 

    Once a trace is complete, either the original shipment will have been delivered to you, or it will be declared lost or damaged by the carrier. If the shipment is lost or damaged, we will file a claim and re-ship your order at no cost to you or if the items are no longer available, refund your money. If the shipment is determined to have been correctly delivered to the address by the carrier, then we will do the following based on the shipping method you selected:

    • No Signature Requested (our default shipping method) - If you did not add a note to your order requesting signature, then we cannot reship your order. In these instances, your package has essentially been stolen or is otherwise missing, and we recommend you follow-up with the carrier and your local authorities.

     

    • Signature Requested - If you requested that signature be required upon delivery of your package (read shipping methods above for instructions), then we will file a claim and re-ship your order at no cost to you once we have received verification of the shipment status from the carrier.

    The vast majority of our shipments arrive at the destination without any incident. We ship tens of thousands of orders each year and have very few problems with deliveries. We are spelling out these policies to make our customers aware of our process for handling delivery disputes. This policy is required because of experiences we have had with customers who live in high risk areas, but do not take the proper steps to ensure the safe receipt of their order.

    UPS Address Change request

    If the package is not yet on the truck for delivery, UPS may be able to change the delivery address. UPS charges $15 for each address change. If you would like to request an address change, contact us during customer service hours to provide us a credit card payment and corrected shipping address. Due to the charges that UPS imposes for address changes, no changes can be made without customer payment. 


    Disc Weights 

    Disc Golf Mart ships the weight range you select. The manufacturer has a duty to weigh each disc in order to display "PDGA APPROVED" on the disc.  We don't feel our scales are more accurate than theirs, so we do not re-weigh any discs unless they come to us un-marked, usually do to label falling off.  In this case we will weigh the disc and mark the exact weight in grams on the bottom of the disc in pen.

    About Plastic Imperfections

    The nature of injection molding and hot stamping is such that nearly all manufacturers are subject to occasional material and molding imperfections. Every manufacturer has quality standards in place that allow for some level of cosmetic inconsistency that does not affect the actual disc performance. These may include small air bubbles, color striations, molding artifacts and debris.

    Please be aware that every disc we sell is considered first quality by its manufacturer, unless otherwise noted. Factory Seconds (second quality) are usually marked as such by the manufacturer.  We might also note that discs go through significant handling before reaching us.  They usually have been boxed and re-boxed several times by the manufacturer before they are boxed for shipping to us.  They haven't been placed in protective bags until after we receive them.  For this reason they are subject to small scratches and scrapes from handling.  If you feel that an item you received is not to your liking, please read below for our Return policy.


    Returns

    You can return any item that is in new condition within 60 days of purchase. Simply send it back to us along with a copy of your receipt. Once we receive the items, we will issue a gift certificate for the cost of each item returned. If you request a refund to your credit card in writing, we will refund your card for the cost of each item returned less a 20% restocking fee.
